UVdesk v1.0.18 adds PHP 8 support and ticket transfer with only one entry visible
A side-by-side editorial comparison of DoneDone and Peppermint — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
DoneDone ships custom fields and workflow automations, closing the gap on mid-market ticketing platforms
DoneDone has shipped two significant capability expansions in the past two months: custom fields (10 field types including currency, dropdown, percentage, and custom-labeled numbers) and workflow automations (status-triggered due dates and checklist templates). Combined with email-to-task creation for projects, the product has meaningfully expanded beyond a simple ticketing inbox into territory that previously required Zendesk or Jira for most teams.
Peppermint v0.5.3 adds a Documents feature to the open-source help desk
Peppermint is a self-hosted open-source help desk. The single catalog entry is v0.5.3 from October 2024, which introduced a Documents feature — creating, viewing, and deleting docs with UI improvements — alongside keyboard shortcut fixes and general UI polish. With only one visible entry, the current development pace is unclear.

DoneDone is methodically closing the feature gap with enterprise ticketing tools, one release at a time. The pattern — custom fields, automation triggers, email integration depth, kanban controls — reads as a deliberate roadmap to SMB and mid-market parity rather than reactive feature requests. The product is retaining its simplicity positioning while removing the specific capability gaps that pushed teams toward more complex alternatives.
Deeper automation trigger types are the likely next move: beyond status changes to assignee changes, due date proximity, and SLA-based rules. Custom fields without custom reporting is half the value — expect dashboards or custom field filters in exports to follow.

The v0.5.3 Documents addition suggests Peppermint is expanding beyond ticketing into a lightweight knowledge base model, bringing docs and tickets under one interface. Whether this continues into a broader knowledge management direction cannot be confirmed from a single entry.
If the documents feature is a deliberate strategic direction, expect search, linking, and access control additions in subsequent releases. Without more entries, trajectory confidence is low.
